The new slim W300 from Sony features a scratch resistant titanium coating that’s around five times tougher than anodised aluminium. Inside the exterior, it’s also crammed with next-gen Sony technology to improve you pictures.
An extremely high resolution of 13.6 effective megapixels should assure detail-packed enlargements to A3 size and beyond. Optical performance is further assured by the inclusion of a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with 3x optical zoom.
The W300 maximum sensitivity is boosted to an ISO 6400. Teamed with Sony’s original Clear RAW Noise Reduction and Super Steady Shot image stabilisation, this will help you take some pretty detailed images without a tripod in dimly-lit twilight scenes.
Also new to Cyber-shot, EX High-Speed Burst Mode which allows high-speed shooting at up to five frames per second – great for fast moving sports.
Improved Face Detection technology adjusts exposure and skin tone for portrait shots. It now offers even faster tracking plus the ability to distinguish automatically between children and adults. Another Sony innovation, Smile Shutter waits until the subject smiles before firing the shutter to ensure happy faces in every frame.
Also powered by the BIONZ image processor, the D-Range Optimiser adjusts exposure for natural-looking results with backlit scenes where there’s a risk of losing highlight and shadow detail.
The large, bright 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD offers a high resolution (230k dot) and contrast for framing and viewing shots, even when you’re outdoors. There’s also an optical viewfinder that offers extra familiarity for compact camera users switching to digital.
An HD Output lets you view your images on any HD Ready display. HD ‘slide shows’ can be enjoyed with a choice of musical accompaniments and visual effects.
